How was your experience with BP Ottawa??

[Comms 356]

There seem to be so many SPs listing on BP, almost to the point of spamming. I know it is par for the course to TOFTT, but what I was looking for with this post is a simple poll.

 

Have you ever used BP to find an SP? Yes or No.

Was your experience with that SP favorable? Yes or No.

Do you think BP is a good resource to find a SP? Yes or No.

Any additional comments?

 

Do you have any other resources you prefer for finding a SP?

(Feel free to PM me if you prefer)

 

Thanks for your input.

BP is like any other advertising resource available for SPs. There are many established providers who utilize it. It is also a hub for bait and switch, cons and rip offs. The key is to do your homework and research a provider that you find appealing by checking the boards and Cowboys Diary for information. Google is your friend. If you are looking for the "cheap" diamond in the rough provider then you simply have to suck it up and TOFTT, then see how the dice roll...

I agree. Every now and then, I check BP and I see some CERB ladies advertise there too, I'll gladly stick to CERB for now.

 

Ironically enough, it was via BP that I stumbled upon CERB. I randomly clicked on a BP ad which included "well-reviewed girl on CERB", I searched "CERB" thinking it was a hobby-related acronym, and here I am.

 

Very grateful!! :)

How you've made me laugh this pleasant afternoon in my corner of Canada. Cheers.

..and to be honest, that's why I don't use BP and other similar sites. I'm too damn lazy to do the research and the reading between the lines. CERB does at least keep out the obvious scammers and B&S artists, and so if someone advertizes here you know they're at least honest.

I have perused BP in several locales particularly when I started out in this "hobby" but quickly tended to equate it with CRAIGS LIST. I do not think neither BP nor CL is suitable for the newcomer to the "hobby", particularly in the USofA where there is the L-E element to contend with. I see it akin to the "Wild West" where anything goes and frankly, particularly in this field of endeavour, I really need to know exactly what to expect or I don't want to play.

 

I agree with several other posters that the CERB Forum offers a much more comfortable venue where I can meet people of similar interest and have meaningful discussions while remaining anonymous.

 

If I wanted a quick roll in the sack I'd be more inclined to scan BP/CL looking for action. However my preference is more to fun and memorable experiences with special ladies and that is why I spend time here, hanging out, getting to know people by reading their posts, exchanging PMs and just seeing what may develop. I far prefer quality over quantity and I find that is the case on this Forum.

 

I must say that even though I have only been a member a short time I have found this Forum to be a friendly environment and I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and ideas. I also visit BESTGFE which is more centered in the US northeast region but it is nowhere near the community as I find in this Forum. BESTGFE is more of a "Meet Market" but at times the forums can be interesting and the field of play is much larger but definitely not better.

 

Thank you for making me feel at home here.

i kind of have to disagree with you on a few points 1) i think on Cerb you have to read between the lines about a provider...for example, if a provider has no reco, what do you assume??

 

and 2) to say they are honest, maybe the majority yes (i haven't had problems on here, myself) but i find it hard to think that Cerb doesn't have/had some bad apples, so it's def not 100% honest.

 

I do like it on here and have enjoyed the women i've met or chatted with but it's not perfect...as no site is. You should still do your research and NOT just assume Cerb is the end all to be all and everyone is legit.

 

I don't use BP myself because i do prefer it on here and would rather not gamble with my money on a potentially bad encounter.

The good:

 

Yes I agree that BP is another resource for SPs to advertise and for us to find those SPs to our liking and there is a lot more variety on BP and new comers as well on a daily basis. I would however caution about BP because......

 

The bad:

 

The chances for bait and switch and false promises and descriptions is higher on that site.

 

The evil:

 

The chances for evil (side of the industry) is a lot higher on BP. The chances that you may come across ads by pimps, the forced, underage, the trafficked, is higher on that site. So be careful when you respond to an ad and ask a lot of questions either on the phone or text/email. If not satisfied, pass on.

I'm pretty sure you can get that here too :)

I assume that she has no recos :)

 

There are some ladies here who have no recos because they ask clients not to write them. There are some who simply don't see many people, which makes them far less likely to get recos. There are some who may have recos from a while back, but nothing recent (this applies especially to well-established ladies, and those whose business consists largely of repeats). And, of course, there are those who have no recos because... well, because anyone making a malign assumption about that would probably be right in their case.

 

Yes, sometimes when I've seen a lady with no recos it's been obvious why that was. But even then, the experience has been "Meh" rather than anything seriously bad. And I've also had the same when seeing one or two well-recommended ladies who I simply haven't got on with that well.

 

and 2) to say they are honest, maybe the majority yes (i haven't had problems on here, myself) but i find it hard to think that Cerb doesn't have/had some bad apples, so it's def not 100% honest.

 

Yep, for sure. I'm not saying CERB is perfect by any means, or that you can completely avoid doing the research... just that it's... better. CERB at least makes an effort to keep the scammers out, unlike BP/CL/etc.

 

As far as the research goes... I've found that simply by being here reasonably often and reading the various recos and other threads people post, I've got a good idea of who I'd like to see and who I probably won't get on with so well. I guess that still counts as research... but it doesn't particularly feel like it at the time :)

To answer your questions, I tried the both Latinas in the last couple of weeks and it was goog fun and they were very attractive!! I went for 1/2hrs calls and everything went well!! Nice hotel and clean rooms!,

i totally agree with what you wrote. I guess sometimes if a person doesn't have a reco i think the worst, and feel like i'm taking a gamble so i usually wait or go check somewhere else.

 

lol, i guess reading a provider's posts is doing research.

 

anyways, i think a guy should do their research either way, whether it's Cerb/BP/CL...but at least here the people are looking out for each other and will tell the mod if something is up.

 

cheers.

I don't use BP, I now stick strictly with CERB

Every bad encounter I had was when I wandered off the reserve so to speak, and went to some other site

CERB, doesn't guarantee that every lady (or for the ladies, no guarantee about every guy) is going to be a good or great encounter. But it does allow a forum where both the ladies and gentlemen can interact with one another giving you a feel for their personality and character, and it has recommendations where you can get feedback on a lady. And the ladies can feel safe here, it's not a boys club, it is a club for all those who partake in this lifestyle

Do I have blinders on. Maybe. But CERB, using all the features it has, hasn't done me wrong in over two years. The times I have had bad encounters, well I wasn't seeing a lady from CERB to begin with

The real question is, where do men go when they're looking for a paid companion? Sadly, there's no one, clear answer. The advantage of BP is that men look there. I don't advertise a lot, but I have advertised on BP here in Vancouver and have met some very fine clients through the site. I'll probably advertise there again in the future.

 

One client told me that he likes BP because it does more than host escort ads which he thought improved his denial options if he didn't erase his browser history. He didn't know about review boards other than the one that starts with P which he described as depressing and offensive. Unfortunately, Escorts-Canada, localescorts.ca and CERB are not very well known in Vancouver.

 

A new escort ad site opened here about 18 months ago. It offers free as well as paid ads, a general forum and an SP-only area, too. I've advertised there and found that it was popular with picture-collectors and men who are quite a bit younger than most of my clientele. I've never been contacted by man from my preferred age demographic via that site so I can only assume that they don't go there or don't know about it. That could change.

 

Figuring out where and how to connect with potential clients is not easy. It requires research, patience and maybe a clairvoyant. But if I knew that, by taking out a quarter-page ad in, say, National Geographic, I had a good chance of reaching the gentlemen I most want to see, I would do it. Unfortunately, Nat'l Geo doesn't accept ads from paid companions.

[Phaedrus 209521]

A provider with extensive recos has asked for many of them, of this I am sure.

 

Something else to look out for: if someone has a reco thread with many posts, see how many of them are actually recos and how many are just chatter. Some are a lot less impressive once you take out the "Thanks for the reco" and "How do I contact her?" posts.

 

What does annoy me are the loyal clients out there who won't reco because they want to keep a provider to themselves. That is just petty and happens more often than anyone imagines. I know many excellent providers who have almost no mention on any of the boards and this is really the only reason I can think of for it...

 

Worse: if she has no recos anywhere, she may find it harder to acquire new clients, and may eventually leave the industry as a result. So this can be utterly counter-productive.

If a client really likes the lady he sees, then he should be writing a recommendation for her. Gentlemen understand and respect that for the ladies this is their livelihood, and maybe a recommendation from them will help in the lady in her business. Possessiveness has no part in this lifestyle. I write recommendations, for three reasons,

first, it's kind of a public thank you to the lady for a good encounter, second, it may help the lady get new clients, and three, sort of related to two, but it lets other gentlemen know about a lady that they may also have a great encounter with.

One of the best ways to show a lady that you like, that you do indeed like and respect her is post a recommendation on your encounter with her. It can help her business, and other gentlemen can have a good encounter too.

If the Lady is not on cerb or escorts Canada, I would not bother. For me and in my opinion only if they are tuned into the hobbiest scene then they are represented well by these 2 venues.
